Question

Terrence is shopping for a school party. His donation to the party is snack bags and juice boxes. Snack bags come in packages of 12 and juice boxes come in packages of 10. What is the fewest number of packages of each product Torrance must purchase so that he has the same number of snack bags and juice boxes

Answer 1

so we're essentially looking for the LCM of 12 and 10

LCM of 12 and 10 is 60 which is the first number with a factor of 12 that ends with a 0

so we need to buy 5 snack packages and 6 juice packages

Answer 2

5 packages of snack bags and 6 packages of juice boxes.
